Lanson Le Green Label Organic Champagne NV

Inspired by nature and crafted with a deep respect for the land, Lanson Le Green Label is a pioneer among major Champagne houses. Sourced exclusively from the Domaine de la Malmaison, a 16-hectare estate in the heart of the Valle de la Marne,this cuve is one of the few Champagnes to be certified both Organic and Biodynamic (Demeter).

Lansons signature style is defined by its refusal to use malolactic fermentation. This traditional approach preserves the natural, crisp acidity of the grapes, resulting in a Champagne of exceptional purity, tension, and longevity.

Tasting Notes

• To the Eye: A brilliant amber-gold hue with a fine, persistent trail of bubbles.
• On the Nose: Intensely aromatic and clear. Initial notes of fresh pear, white peach, and blackcurrant evolve into more complex layers of citrus zest, mineral flint, and a subtle touch of oriental spices and smoky lees.
• On the Palate: A strike of great vitality and “vinous” depth. The texture is creamy yet firm, offering flavors of ripe mirabelle plum, mango, and green apple. A strong mineral backbone, reminiscent of chalk and saline, leads into a long, refreshing finish with hints of toasted brioche and honey.

Food Pairing Suggestions

This is a “food-friendly” Champagne that thrives alongside clean, savory flavors. It is an exquisite partner for:

• Seafood: Pan-seared scallops, oysters, or grilled white fish with a citrus glaze.
• Appetizers: Smoked salmon blinis or goat cheese tartlets.
• Main Courses: Roasted poultry with spring vegetables or a creamy mushroom risotto.
